Moving to California need help with some ?'s

My wife and 4 kids "11 year old and three 2 year olds.
We want to find a city about 15-25 miles from a nice beach or beaches.
Schools are really important and would love any ideas for nice places to live..


Thanks ahead of time

WOW ! ... you must be loaded $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ... :smokin:

i didn't ask for people opinion of our income. I would like for people to respond to the question at hand

we are not to picky about location, so it can be from northern to southern coastlines

Well i just moved to Ukiah and its beautiful here but a ill further from the coastline than you want but check out fort Bragg or just Mendocino county in general is friendlyand i wouldn't mind growing up here if i was a lil one.

Compton, Watts, South Central LA, East side Long Beach,....Just a few nice spots here in Southern Cali...~ograskal

San Fransisco? stinson beach is really nice, not to sure about schools tho, best bet SF or Santa Cruz

I'd suggest Santa Cruz(born there) or San Diego. Both beautiful, great beaches, great surfing and swimming and pretty good people and bud too.

dont waste yer time with soCal, unless you have/make alot of money because it isnt cheap to purchase or rent anything. Norcal is way cheaper and the weed is excellent.Santa cruz/monterrey area is beutiful.

Crescent City- prison town and poor schools (unless they have changed mightily!) :(
